VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT IT IN PARK. I NOTICED I WAS TO CLOSE TO MY HOME FOR THE CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO RUN BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND THE HOUSE SO I PUT MY VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO BACK UP A LITTLE AND BACKED UP. I THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE TO GO FORWARD AS IT WAS TO FAR OUT IN THE ROAD, SO I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE GAS PEDDLE GOT STUCK AND I RAN INTO MY HOME. MY QUESTION IS, HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THE GAS PEDDLE STICKING ON THIS VEHICLE IN THE PAST HISTORY? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DOOR MODULE WENT BAD. THE PART HAS A RECALL, THE MANUFACTURE DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. THE MANUFACTURE WANTS ME TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THEN REIMBURSE ME WHEN THEY HAVE THE FIX. I COULDN'T MAKE SENSE OF THIS SINCE THE PART IS UNDER RECALL JUST SWAP IT OUT FOR ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN EVER THEY HAVE A FIX LET ME KNOW I WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE. WHY PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS A RECALL. IF YOUR GOING TO REIMBURSE ME ANYWAY! I WILL LIKE TO KEEP MY 500+ AND NOT WAIT FOR GM TO PAY ME BACK. PLUS THEY WANT TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES CORRODED AND CAUSED A TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK. THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE 86. WHEN THE FLUID LEAKED OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES, IT SPRAYED ALL OVER THE EXHAUST PIPES, WHICH CAUSED A SEVERE FIRE HAZARD. DUE TO THE LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT CASED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION INTERNALS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS RESET WHEN YOU USE THE REMOTE THE UNLOCK THE CAR. THEY ARE PRESET FOR DRIVER 1 & 2 AND WHICH EVER REMOTE UNLOCKS THE CAR THE MIRRORS WILL RE-ALIGN THEMSELVES SOMETIMES MOVING AROUND FOR 60 SECONDS OR MORE. AFTER ALL THE MOVEMENT THEY ARE NOT ALIGNED FOR DRIVER 1 OR 2. IT'S A PAIN TO HAVE TO REALIGN BOTH MIRRORS EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. I HAVE POSITIONED THE MIRRORS WHERE I WANT THEM, PUSH THE BUTTON TO SET THEM, WAIT FOR TWO BEEPS, AND NEXT TIME I START THE CAR, THEY ARE RANDOMLY MOVING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE MIRRORS SEEM TO BE OK FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN START WITH THE RANDOM REPOSITIONING AGAIN. I AM AFRAID THE MOTORS IN THE MIRRORS WILL BURN OUT. *TR

ENGINE
PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. SHORTLY AFTER, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAD COME ON PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. JUST LOST ALL POWER INSTANTLY. I TURNED THE KEY, AS YOU WOULD TO START THE VEHICLE, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. VERY GLAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR WHILE MOVING. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF IT IS AN IGNITION PROBLEM, AS THAT WHICH PLAGUES OTHER GM PRODUCTS. ALSO, I HAVE THE RADIO ON WHILE DRIVING AND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND OPENING THE DOOR TO GET OUT, THE RADIO REFUSES TO STOP PLAYING (IT IS SUPPOSED TO, AND IT USED TO, CEASE OPERATING WHEN YOU OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR). I AM FORCED TO OPEN THE BACK VEHICLE DOOR TO GET IT TO STOP. I WONDER IF THIS IS A RELATED ISSUE TO THE IGNITION, AS THE IGNITION KEY MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE SHUTTING OF THE ACCESSORIES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEADLIGHTS GO COMPLETELY OUT. NO OTHER LIGHTS WENT OUT I CONTINUOUSLY FLICKED THEM BACK AND FORTH AND FINALLY MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WORKS TO GET ME HOME. NEXT DAY THEY WORK FINE AGAIN THEN 2 DAYS LATER SAME THING HAPPENS. BULBS FUSES ALL HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND NO SHORT FOUND. SO I LOOK ONLINE AND SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH TRAILBLAZER ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING DOWN MAN O WAR BOULEVARD IN LEXINGTON, KY - ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND WENT TO EMPTY. I CALLED GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS FOR THIS DEFECT. SINCE THEN I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS WITH ALL 3 OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE MOVING AT LEAST 45 MPH DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING CARS BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT WAS THEIR MISTAKE AND CHEVROLET SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO CORRECT IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND STAYED IN DRIVE. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND PUT ON PARK HOWEVER STILL IN DRIVE AND NOW WILL NOT START. SINCE I WORK ON VEHICLES I LOOKED AT TRANSMISSION LINKAGE AND FOUND CABLE CAME OFF TRANSMISSION LINKAGE. PLASTIC CLIP BROKEN. LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE REPAIR CLIP FOR $14.99. SINCE IT WAS SPECIAL ORDER I WENT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO REPAIR KIT AND THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF SHIFTER CABLES IN STOCK $75.00 WENT AHEAD AND ORDERED AFTERMARKET PART SPECIAL ORDER 2 DAYS AND TODAY 3 DAYS LATER WAS TOLD OUT OF STOCK AND NONE AVAILABLE TIL DECEMBER. COINCIDENCE OR IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM? I'M AFRAID SOMEONE WILL NOT KNOW OR REALIZE VEHICLE STILL IN DRIVE WHEN SHIFTER MOVES TO PARK AND NOT MOVING SHIFTER LINKAGE AT TRANSMISSION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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
